The State Authority for Geospatial Information (ASIG) of Albania, in collaboration with the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS), delivered high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and orthophotos to support flood risk and impact assessment in the Drin River Basin. The Drin basin is critical to Albania’s economy, hosting four major hydropower plants and functioning as a unique ecological corridor that influences both inland and Adriatic ecosystems. With mountain peaks exceeding 2,500 metres and flat coastal plains, accurate elevation data was crucial to modelling flood dynamics across highly variable terrain. The DEMs and orthophotos were geo-referenced and integrated with hazard maps, economic asset databases, and historical flood records to identify Areas of Potential Significant Flood Risk (APSFR). These datasets provided evidence-based insights that informed the Drin Basin Management Plan, aligned with the EU Water Framework Directive and the UNECE Water Convention. Additionally, the activation of the Copernicus EMS Risk & Recovery service—requested by Germany’s Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) on behalf of GIZ in Albania—ensured international cooperation and strengthened disaster preparedness in the region.
